Beogogo, thanks for solving the mystery so other readers can benefit! But… you are the OP right? 🙂

Would this be: ‘target marketing at High Net Worth individuals’?

An elegant way to introduce a second source would be through an additional BeoLink product with a Line-in connection.

Maybe with a DAC that has multiple inputs? I don’t know if that exists.

Hi N0nl1near,

The Core has Apple airplay, so maybe no need to connect the Airport Express? The ‘1 x Line-in (analogue & digital combo) with sensing’ is then free for your TV.

Nice to see a 6500 or 7000 pizza box on the work station! One of the test tools maybe?

Hoi KolfMAKER, I believe that’s three things :-)!

1. I indeed used tape on the inside and the outside, the cloth folds over the notches and covers them. I did it because I was afraid I could not cut clean enough to ensure perfect covering of the sharp edges of the frame. I did not put a lot of tension on the cloth that covers the notches and the cloth is thin enough to ensure that the notches still work. I actually think B&O welded the cloth to the frame.
2. it is just a bit of fiddling, the cloth is really strong. When you don’t push it down on the tape too hard at first, you can still peel it back off and correct. I am afraid that I was giving all my attention to the job and did not take too many pictures of it.
3. I checked, see below – it was pre-cut, enough to do two 8000s and two 6000s with.

Akustikstoff have some info on their blog, with some images of results that look very good!

B&O Beolab 8000 erstrahlt wieder in vollem Glanz

I did once read here on the forum that getting the covers to fit back 100% perfect, even when just taken off, is not an easy task. Still I think that a nice deep black reclothed fret, even when the sides and the top lid are not 100% flush, looks much better than a wrinkled, sun faded but flush mounted original.

Maybe you can make a little how to when you take on the endeavour?

Good luck, Johan

Hi, this book for the turntable afficionados out there has the 4000c on the cover!

Hi KolfMAKER, I posted some pictures a while ago when I fixed my BeoLab 8000s (and 6000s): https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/189/332850.aspx#332850. Unfortunately the photographs have gone (as Guy said already) but I still had them. I did use fabric from akustikstoff.com that to me is very nice material. In my view the limited stretch works much better than panty material that seems to have infinite stretch, but also can get too thin when stretched too much. I used akustikstoff’s standard black (10) fabric.

I decided to use double sided tape (HPX ultra mount tape) that is thin and very sticky to both the plastic of the fret and the cloth.

My frames were quite bad with the top flap and some of the clips on the side loose. The vertical long strips of tape on the inside of the frames I positioned deeper to make sure the working of the clips is not affected.

The flap in the top is the most fiddly part. But with a bit of patience the result will be much better than before. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hello Matt,

Not so easy to judge from your description I think. You write that it has been reconditioned, would it not be an idea to record the noise (maybe even film the Ouverture when it happens) and ask the seller/reconditioner? I would say that if it was sold as reconditioned to you, it should be working flawlessly, and the seller should feel responsible for it.

Regards, Johan

Hi Matt, welcome!

The service manual says 4×16 (for pos. 15):

and that is correct: M4 x 16mm, with a 7mm head.

I need to clean my caliper :-).

Good luck! Johan

Hi again, here they can be bought: https://www.idav.nl/rubberen-voetjes-beolab-8000.html?id=268961159. Not cheap – 50 euros for 8.

Hello styppen, they are called

and are indeed adjustable (I took one from my 8000):

But if you cannot find the real ones, maybe you can find some short, flathead M5 bolts (called thumbscrews) and stick a rubber protector on it (one like this:)

Then you will still have the possibility to adjust the stance.

Good luck! Johan
